NAME

UI::Various::Window - general top-level window widget of UI::Various

SYNOPSIS

my $main = UI::Various::main();
my $window = $main->window();
$window->add(UI::Various::Text->new(text => 'Hello World!'));
...
$main->mainloop();

ABSTRACT

This module defines the general (main) window object of an application using UI::Various.

DESCRIPTION

Besides the common attributes inherited from UI::Various::widget and UI::Various::toplevel the Window widget knows the following additional attributes:

Attributes

title [rw, optional]

an optional title string for the window as string or variable reference

METHODS

Besides the accessors (attributes) described above and the attributes and methods of UI::Various::widget, UI::Various::container and UI::Various::toplevel, the following additional methods are provided by the abstract Window class itself:

new - constructor

see UI::Various::core::construct

destroy - remove window from application

$window->destroy();

description:

destroy removes the window and all its UI elements from the application (and its main "Window Manager" singleton), hopefully freeing all memory used by the UI. (This may vary depending on the underlying UI package used.) If the window was the last one of the application, this also causes the main loop to be finished.
